How Upwork Copilot Works

After installation from the Chrome Web Store, the extension activates on Upwork pages to analyze profile data and job postings. It generates a profile strength score and suggests improvements such as title optimization, overview enhancements, rate analysis, and prioritized actions. Skills audits highlight missing, in-demand capabilities to improve discoverability.

On job listings and detail pages, the extension evaluates job suitability via a fit score, skills match, complexity, competition level, and budget alignment. It surfaces qualification gaps and missing skills, enabling quick filtering and triage. For each opportunity, users can draft structured proposals using AI-generated cover letters, key talking points, screening responses, and a bid range calculator. A batch mode supports rating and sorting multiple jobs at once. Some features consume tokens; monthly allowances depend on plan.
